In fact, since the early 90s, the cheongsam began popular on wedding. But at that time a wedding qipao is basically in red, limited style. Today, the wedding qipao has been rich in color and style, and has become the oriental bride forever love. How to choose a suitable wedding cheongsam for the bride, we must consider very carefully from colors, styles, materials, and can not ignore the hair, shoes, make-up and other details.

The Color of Wedding Qiapo
Big Red: suitable for slightly older bride, because the big red can show the bride's generous.
Rose Red: suitable for younger brides, because their own nice skin, combined with red roses, which can make the bride look pretty young.
Crimson: suitable for talented women.
White: suitable for the bride who has meticulous life.

The pattern of Wedding Qipao
Bride has long neck is suitable for high-necked wedding cheongsam. Bride has shorter neck is suitable for no-collar qipao dress.

The Materials of Wedding Cheongsam
Not to choose polyester fabric, because it is very easy to conduct static electricity. On spring and autumn wedding, you can choose thin material such as silk; on winter wedding, brocade may be the best choice. 

The Shoes and the Wedding Qipao
Try not to select black color shoes, you can consider silk embroidery or velvet satin shoes, better in red color.

The Makeup and the Wedding Qipao
Avoid heavy makeup in addition to the eyelashes and eyebrows, which should be natural style, and lipstick color should match the color of wedding cheongsam.

The Chinese style blue brocade short cheongsam dress. A Blooming Tree


A Blooming Tree
May Buddha let us meet
in my most beautiful hours,
I have prayed for it
for five hundred years.
Buddha made me a tree
by the path you may take,
In full blossoms I'm waiting in the sun
every flower carrying my previous hope.
As you are near, listen carefully
the quivering leaves are my waiting zeal,
As you pass by the tree
without noticing me,
My friend, upon the ground behind you
is not the fallen petals but my withered heart.

Tips for best fitting and wearing

We called Qipao “The art of body”, it designed to show up the feminine body. But Nobody is as perfect as model, Choosing a right style dress would highlight your strength and hiden your fatal flaws.
l         For short women, avoid boxy cuts with shoulder pads as they weight you down. Too long a dress will also have the reverse effect and make you look shorter.
l         Women with broad shoulders should avoid shoulder pads as they will make them look top-heavy. Instead, opt for softer fabrics like silk to soften the silhouette.
l         Skinny women can go for brocade which can give more form and curves to their body structure. A brocade is a heavy silk fabric with a raised design on it, often sewn on with gold or silver threads.
l         For those with flabby arms, choose dress with 3/4 sleeves to hide the excess flesh.
l         Women with short necks should pick a dress with a lower collar so that it helps make the neck look longer. On the other hand, women with longer necks can look stunning in a Qipao cut with a high collar.
l         For those who are disproportionate in shape, with either a heavy top or a heavy bottom, wear Cheongsam separates.
l         Top-heavy women should avoid big, contrasting prints on the Qipao top. Choose a simple one-colour top.
l         A straight-cut skirt with a side slit is ideal for women who have large bottoms.
How to wear Chinese dress?
l         As for daily casual wear, in summer, you can choose some thin fabrics such as pure cotton delaine, printed with little flowers, sack and yarn cloth, silk, and poplin. 
l         In spring and winter, there is chemical fiber or blended cloth like gleaming silk and thinner woolen cloth. 
l         If for formal affairs like ceremonies or performances, in summer, you should select pure silk crape de Chine for your China clothing dress, thin silk, which is soft, light and cool since it won't stick to your body. 
l         For spring and winter, satin and velour are the best: tapis, treasures, crape and spun gold damask.
For wearing a Qipao / Cheongsam pay attention to the whole appearance: Hairstyle, jewelry, stockings, and shoes should match to the design and colour of the Qipao / Cheongsam and should be presented as an unit.
